FREE Crochet Pattern – Sachets and Trinkets

January 31, 2014

Like many of you, I have so many little leftover balls of yarn. Whenever I’m taking a break from designing or life, I try to figure out ways to use up those scraps. I was doing just that while at the same time thinking of Valentine’s Day and this is what happened!

These little hearts can be used in so many ways, bunting, sachets, appliques or even little pockets to hold candy or treasures. I filled mine with lavender and hung them in my closet. That glorious scent perfumes the air as I walk into my bedroom and makes me smile.

Have fun with yours and please share your pictures or ideas with me too! Find me on Facebook or send me an email.

These can be done in worsted weight or crochet thread and both turn out amazing. So cute. I might have to make some for my daughter’s friends for school next week. She’s not mentioned anything about V day, so maybe I’ll just make some for her to give her teachers.

I am working on these beautiful sachets by Maria Bittner at Pattern-Paradise. I have used many of her patterns and each one is beautifully written, easy to follow and make up into such a lovely piece of art. Do not hesitate to try these beautiful sachets by Pattern-Paradise. You won’t regret it.

Thank you so much for providing this pattern for free. I belong to an organization that provides memory boxes to bereaved parents and I think these would be a great addition, especially the little pouches.
